'Timely, eye-opening, provocative – you will see the world differently after reading it.' - Kim Stanley Robinson, author of Ministry for the Future'Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley offer answers that will make your jaw drop. Nothing about "quarantine" is as simple or straight-forward as you think.' - Laurie Garrett, author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World out of BalanceQuarantine has shaped our world, yet it remains both feared and misunderstood. It is our most powerful response to uncertainty, but it operates through an assumption of guilt: in quarantine, we are considered infectious until proven safe. An unusually poetic metaphor for moral and mythic ills, quarantine means waiting to see if something hidden inside of us will be revealed. Until Proven Safe tracks the history and future of quarantine around the globe, chasing the story of emergency isolation through time and space – from the crumbling lazarettos of the Mediterranean to the hallways of the CDC, to the corporate giants hoping to disrupt the widespread quarantine imposed by Covid-19 before the next pandemic hits through surveillance and algorithmic prediction.Yet quarantine is more than just a medical tool: Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley drop deep into the Earth to tour a nuclear-waste isolation facility beneath the New Mexican desert, strip down to nothing but protective Tyvek suits to see plants stricken with a disease that threatens the world’s wheat supply, and meet NASA’s Planetary Protection Officer tasked with saving the Earth from extraterrestrial infections. The result is part travelogue, part intellectual history – a book as compelling as it is definitive, and one that could not be more urgent or timely.

"Over the past six centuries, quarantine has shaped the public health response to infectious disease around the world—but it has also shaped our streets, buildings, and cities, our borders, laws, identities, and imaginations."The authors do an excellent job assessing the concept of quarantine across multiple dimensions - time, space, nature, built environments, mythology and war to name a few.And the book takes an interesting form - together, we go on a journey of discovery, our intrepid authors leading the way, ducking through ruins, walking through the halls of NASA, and everything in between - which is a nice approach - we see our authors trying on the quarantine garb of old (that plague doctor beak thing) and of new (clean rooms). The 'tangibility' of quarantine comes through. What we were vaguely interested in takes on depth.I came away smarter from reading this book, with more fun snippets to tell at parties ("One in ten of America’s cows reside within a two-hundred-mile radius of Manhattan, Kansas"), more words to use that I did not know ("Items that can harbor and transmit contagion are called fomites"), a palpable sense of food insecurity; and more informed about how quarantine was instrumental in and obstructive to globalization.What else can you ask for?
